Job Summary
We are seeking an Infrastructure Automation Engineer with deep Terraform expertise to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure-as-code foundations that power our cloud and hybrid environments. This role focuses on creating reusable Terraform modules, hardening pipelines, enforcing policy-as-code, and standardizing infrastructure delivery across multiple teams and cloud providers. The ideal candidate brings strong software engineering discipline to infrastructure work, has shipped production-grade Terraform at scale, and understands the operational realities of managing thousands of resources across many environments and accounts.

Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain modular, composable Terraform code that codifies the entire infrastructure estate across cloud accounts and environments.

- Build a library of well-tested, reusable Terraform modules with clear interfaces, semantic versioning, and comprehensive documentation.

- Implement Terraform automation pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Atlantis, Terraform Cloud, or Spacelift, with plan/apply gating, drift detection, and policy enforcement.

- Define and enforce policy-as-code using Sentinel, Open Policy Agent (OPA), Conftest, or Checkov to prevent insecure or non-compliant infrastructure changes.

- Manage Terraform state at scale with appropriate backend strategies, state locking, workspace organization, and disaster recovery patterns.

- Drive multi-account, multi-region, and multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning strategies with clear isolation, naming, and tagging standards.

- Implement infrastructure testing including unit tests with terraform-compliance, integration tests with Terratest, and policy tests across pull requests.

- Collaborate with security, networking, and platform teams to embed guardrails directly into reusable modules and pipelines.

- Standardize patterns for secrets management, identity federation, and least-privilege IAM through reusable Terraform abstractions.

- Lead migrations from legacy, ClickOps, or non-IaC infrastructure into managed Terraform footprints with minimal disruption.

- Drive cost optimization, tagging hygiene, and lifecycle management across the Terraform-managed estate.

- Mentor engineering teams on Terraform best practices, anti-patterns, and pull-request review standards.

- Maintain comprehensive runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the infrastructure platform.

- Stay current with Terraform, OpenTofu, and broader IaC ecosystem developments and recommend adoption where beneficial.

Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

- Five or more years of experience in cloud infrastructure or DevOps engineering, with significant Terraform focus.

- Deep, hands-on expertise authoring and maintaining production Terraform across at least one major cloud provider.

- Strong experience designing reusable Terraform modules with clean APIs and version discipline.

- Hands-on experience with Terraform state management, backends, and large-scale workspace organization.

- Strong scripting skills in Python, Go, or Bash.

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure code and aut
